A two-stage nested sampling design was used to collect data to estimate the mean porosity of paper emerging from a paper machine. Ten patches of paper were randomly selected from the end of the paper roll, and four porosity readings were made on each. The data are shown in the following table.

a. Perform an analysis of variance on the data. Give the ANOVA summary table.

b. Obtain the estimates of σ_α² = 0 and σ².

c. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the variation in porosity between patches exceeds the variation of porosity within patches? Test using α = .05.
